Poll: McCain favored among church-goers
The presumptive Republican presidential candidate held a 53 percent-to-37 percent margin over his likely Democratic challenger among weekly church-goers, pollsters from the Princeton, N.J., firm said.
Among those who indicated they seldom or never attended church, Obama lead McCain, 54 percent to 34 percent.
In addition to faring better among those who attend church frequently, McCain, the U.S. senator from Arizona is preferred by those who said religion is important to them. Conversely, the Illinois senator does well among those who indicate religion is not important.
Among whites, McCain lead Obama among those who attend church weekly, while Obama was favored among whites who seldom or never attend church.
Results are based on telephone interviews conducted Aug. 11-17 with 6,228 registered voters and 5,202 non-Hispanic white registered voters. The margin of error for both the overall sampling and the subset sampling is plus or minus 2 percentage points.

When religions get involved in politics, the result is often division among their members. In imitation of Jesus Christ, true Christians, avoid becoming involved in politics and thus maintain their Christian unity.
Voting and writing to lawmakers suggests that there is a human solution to the Worlds problems. The Bible Makes it very very clear that only God’s Kingdom will bring lasting peace and security to lovers of peace everywhere. True Christians pray for that Kingdom Government,(the Lords Prayer) they live in harmony with its principles of peace, and they should spend their time telling others about that hope in the Kingdom of God.

Following their father's example? Here's another fact to chew on... A quote from Barack Obama's book, Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"..
